{what to wear to a fall wedding}

One of the hardest things to dress for in the cooler months are rehearsal dinners and weddings! You want something comfortable to dance in, appropriate for the dress code, and seasonal! If you're like me, then you don't want long sleeves or a heavy, thick material if you're tearing up the dance floor. Getting a strappy dress is totally fine for the cold if you add a cashmere wrap to give you some warmth (bonus points because it will cover your shoulders if you're at a strict ceremony and don't want to keep a coat on). So how do you keep it seasonally appropriate... The answer? Color and fabric! Stick with dark hues like navy, black, wine/burgundy, and emerald green. For the fabric make sure it doesn't wrinkle easily (that instantly cheapens a dress) and that it's nicer than your simple black dress you wear to work. This is your opportunity to make a statement!

I originally tried this dress on in red at Shop Luna in Bethesda - y'all went nuts over it on IG stories. While I love a red dress more than anything I wanted to keep things a bit more muted for the rehearsal dinner (I was a bridesmaid) and this navy blue was so stunning when the fabric moves. It's stretchy and hugs you in the right places while still allowing you to eat (phew). I'm a small chested gal so I loved the knot at the front to give me some shape. I paired it with my favorite leopard clutch for a pop, comfortable nude heels, and the most gorgeous camel cashmere wrap I own. Camel goes with everything and really makes the navy appear rich!

Love Always,

Happy November! I can't believe how this year has already flown by - it feels like Halloween was just yesterday! Oh wait ;)

Now that the weather is cooler (we seriously jumped from 80s to 50s) it's time to break out all of those cute sweaters! I love wearing seasonal colors like yellow, burnt orange, and burgundy... all the colors of the leaves. It just puts me in the festive season and makes me want to cozy up by a fire with a blanket. This new cape sweater is such a different shape and easy for layering underneath. I paired it with my favorite earrings from the summer and the boots you're going to be seeing a loot of. Y'all know I love my OTK boots! I had to retire my old heeled pair because the suede got ruined from salt/snow last winter. So I purchased these during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I looove the pointy toe and chunky heel - it makes them SO comfortable and really easy to walk in! They also make your legs look a mile long which is always a good thing!

{striped dress in nantucket}

In September I had my first chance to visit Nantucket! It was such a gorgeous island - every corner was cuter than the next full of charm. I knew we were going to be going to dinner on the water one night so I went on the hunt for the perfect nautical dress. I wanted something that would keep me warm when the nights got chilly (long sleeves and heavy material) but still had some sass to it (deep v in the front and back). When I spotted this dress it checked all those boxes PLUS it has so much character to it with the tassel ties and the ruffle skirt.

I was at Shop Luna the weekend before looking for a rehearsal dinner dress (more on that later) when I spotted this striped beauty. I paired it with open toed heels but I think it would be adorable with tan boots and a maroon wrap. The material is so thick that it didn't wrinkle at all and i was comfortable the whole night (even with a sunburn I didn't get chilly haha).

Shop Luna is a boutique in Bethesda and they always have the best brands that you can find at Nordstrom and Revolve too. This brand, MISA Los Angeles, is new to me and I can't get enough of it! Adorable silhouettes, luxe colors, and perfect details.

Love Always,

{how to transition a spring dress into the fall}

DC is currently experiencing a weird change of seasons where it's not gradually getting cooler and there's nothing in between... it's simply hot at 85 degrees or overcast and cloudy at 65. A lovely 20 degree difference that makes it really hard to dress for. The plus side of this? It's the perfect excuse to rock those cute summer dresses one last time! I love pairing them with boots or booties and add in my fall jackets to top it off. It gives the dress a totally new look, you're staying cool, yet you still look like a fall fashionista with stylish accessories!

I purchased these boots last summer (during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) and they're perfect to take a bright colored dress through these strange temps. I love how versatile they are and they're incredibly comfortable to walk in because of the block heel. Top the look off with a jean jacket (that seriously goes with everything) and you're all set!

Of course I realize the irony that I'm drinking an iced matcha latte in these photos... the perfect summer drink in my mind. It was almost 80 when I took these photos in the afternoon but it was cooler in the morning - typical!

Love Always,
